I am interested in doing this also. This link (and other threads on this site) make it look more complicated than what you propose to do. http://www.terrylove.com/forums/showthread.php?44657-Please-look-at-my-washing-machine-utility-sink-drain-setup-need-advice It's all about codes and...

Are you talking about a condensate pump? I have had good luck with Little Giant pumps. They are a well established pump company with parts and service available. I have not bought one in about 3 years and don't know if they have outsourced their mfg. to China......WW Grainger does not list...

That's some good information shannonw. Correctly sizing the unit is very important. When I studied softeners a few years ago, I got the general impression that a unit with separate resin tank and brine tank just tended to be of better quality (vs. Kenmore, as you stated). As pointed out...

Would putting dricore down under the mats be doable? I don't know how much it cost. http://www.dricore.com/en/pdf/CureforColdFeetFinal.pdf

I am simply in denial about all this stuff. Bummer. Lets return to our happy place (BITOG)!

Nobody can answer this question unless all the details are know. The general location in the country (north vs. south) and the building design/construction are needed. As far as we know, he might have open trusses with no ceiling, as in a pole building. Keeping in mind the simple principle...

Correct. Just like Craftsman.

I buy most of my hardline tools (not all) with the idea that they are a long term investment, either lifetime or until the tool is worn out from use. Disposable tools are appropriate for certain circumstances. I like the idea of being able to replace them with nearly identical parts if one in...

Stuey, I believe you stated somewhere that the Klein curve strippers are now made in-house and no longer by Stride? Are you (or anyone) aware if the new Kleins are as good as the old Stride made product? Sears only markets the one Stride model now. Who else markets the Stride versions? Thank...

I'm a frugal diyer that survived 50 years + with regular combo wrenches and have no lust for ratcheting wrenches. When I bought in to all the hype here, I decided to buy one set only of ratcheting wrenches. Barring their ratchet action, I felt the offset gearwrences would duplicate my regular...

Yes, please check it out and report back. Proper fit (no looseness) is important. The model shown is a rigid bender. Thank you.

A "pipe" bender?

I was disappointed in the inconsistency of Klein pliar type wire crimpers when I shopped for them a while back. Maybe just a bad batch of German engineering slipped through? Some of the male anvil parts were mis-shaped and/or off centered from the female side. These might be off centered...

Thank you, Trucky, for making this thread. It's wonderful to remember what used to be, but rather sad at the same time. Anyone older than about 45 remembers these stores well. I envy you. Have fun.

Crow Horse, I don't have a ratcheting crimper, but I will take a try at the answer. I believe the tool is designed to release only AFTER you have made a complete crimp of the terminal. This insures that the terminal is squeezed down 100% for a solid crimp. If it worked your described way...

I would not accept that quality, especially since you paid well over double what a better looking import set would cost. Very disappointing. I always give the mfg. grief when this kind of stuff happens.

Yes, such a Saylor Beal, just down the road from me.

Even though it has been beat to death already.......when I was young, it just seemed like it would be cool to have each "group" of tools all the same brand. Automotive tools: all Craftsman, Snap on, whatever. Power Tools: how cool to watch This Old House with a workshop full of a bunch of...

Are you guys saying that this Snap on wrench in NOT made by Precision instruments? The PI version

To me, it sounds like he installed plastic vapor barrier over the cement block wall. Then installed "faced" (vapor barrier) insulation onto the the studded wall. Isn't he asking if the insulation trapped between the two vapor barriers will trap moisture? The plastic on the cement wall is...
